Just in case you were wondering what East Greenland looks like from 36,000 feet. I think that it was the first time I had actually seen the coastline as it's usually covered by clouds. As you can see from the photo, the glaciers are retreating and dumping a huge amount of ice into the North Atlantic. I saw one berg between Iceland and Greenland that had to at least 300' tall (the exposed portion). By the way, this photo was taken Thursday, 8/8/02.

 

absolutely breathtaking! I went up in a private plane once over the White Mountains in New Hampshire it was beautiful!

 

So I guess by that altitude the captain had given the OK to use all approved electronic devices, right?

That's a really cool pic.

 

Thanks Mark, the picture really doesn't do the view justice though. Here is another one of my favorites (taken almost a year ago). It's a great view of Sydney Harbor as we left for SFO.
